In How Patience Works, Troy continues his journey in the fable that began with How Generosity Works and How the Root of Kindness Works. The teachings of Master Shantideva’s Perfection of Patience provide the guiding wisdom that leads Troy as he struggles to conquer the internal tyrant of his own anger. Building on the lessons learned from Grace in How Generosity Works, and Abe in How the Root of Kindness Works, Troy and his girlfriend Maggie encounter another sage. Mrs. Sternau is an elderly widow who is a regular customer at the diner where they work. The mysterious way she shares her wisdom that crosses between dimensions of time unfolds into teaching Troy the next lesson he needs to learn: Patience.

Verses from Master Shantideva’s chapter on Patience from A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life provide the backbone of wisdom to the message Mrs. Sternau delivers to Troy.

About the Author

Janet Kathleen Ettele is a musician and author who draws from her background as a student of Buddhist dharma to bring its teachings into contemporary practice through her writing and her music. Two CDs, Piano Mandalas and Piano Mandalas—Compassion, are collections of her meditatively improvised music. Her first introduction to meditation came while attending a Quaker boarding school. Decades later, she realized this aspect of her education had provided the perfect foundation for much that was to follow. She graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston and worked in the entertainment industry until becoming a mother. She lives in Connecticut, where she has raised two sons. Ettele has written poetry and motivational articles; How Generosity Works is her first writing of fiction.
